Saving steering wheel...what do you recommend?, beautiful stock '73 2.0 steering wheel getting "crumbly"... Options

[second wind]

Hello teener family....I have what appears to be a stock leather steering wheel on my '73 2.0 and parts of it seem to be getting bumpy and somewhat crumbly....most of it is smooth but on the back where your fingers grip there is some deterioration going on. What would you recommend to use to stop the wear and save the wheel from getting worse? It is a really nice steering wheel and I want to keep it alive as long as possible.
Thank you all very much,

I have seen this before on old leather on steering wheels. You need to refinish the wheel with a 2 step wheel leather refinisher. I got a wheel from one of the guys here and put the super cleaner on it and then sanded it with a 220 wet silicon carbide sheet.
(wet Dry ) and you have to sand off some of the dirt and sweat and then put the finisher on. Like coloring any leather. The picture is not so great, but the wheel looks very good on my wall in my man cave. I got the kit from Amazon not much.
